    • The association between anemia and falls in community-living women and men aged 65 years and older from the fifth Tromsø Study 2001-02: a replication study 

      Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Utne, Elisabeth Bøe; Horsch, Alexander; Skjelbakken, Tove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-27)
      Background: <br> Falls are common among elderly people, and the risk increase with age. Falls are associated with both health and social consequences for the patient, and major societal costs. Identification of risk factors should be investigated to prevent falls. Previous studies have shown anemia to be associated with increased risk of falling, but the results are inconsistent. The aim of this ...

    • Borte bra, men hjemme best 

      Skjelbakken, Tove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-24)
      Jeg var tre år og alene første gang jeg var i Oslo og på Rikshospitalet. Sykehuset syntes den gang at «barna var mye enklere å ha med å gjøre uten foreldrene». Kontrasten var stor da jeg 54 år senere kom tilbake til sykehuset, som nærmeste pårørende til en voksen sønn som skulle gjennomgå allogen stamcelletransplantasjon.

    • Haemoglobin, anaemia and haematological malignancies : the Tromsø study 1974-1995 

      Skjelbakken, Tove (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2006)
      Haemoglobin measurement is one of the most frequently performed laboratory tests. The haemoglobin level has well known variability according to age and gender [1- 3]. However, the reference values are often from elderly cross sectional studies of younger subjects, and may not reflect the populations’ actual distribution today. Several lifestyle factors, including body mass index (BMI) and ...

    • Impact of red cell distribution width on future risk of cancer and all-cause mortality among cancer patients – the Tromsø Study 

      Ellingsen, Trygve; Lappegård, Jostein; Skjelbakken, Tove; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10)

    • Red cell distribution width and carotid atherosclerosis progression: The Tromsø study 

      Lappegård, Jostein; Ellingsen, Trygve; Vik, Anders; Skjelbakken, Tove; Brox, Jan; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Johnsen, Stein Harald; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-01-29)
      Red cell distribution width (RDW), a measure of the size variability of circulating erythrocytes, is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We aimed to investigate whether RDW was associated with progression of atherosclerotic plaques in subjects recruited from the general population. Baseline characteristics, including RDW, were collected from 4677 participants in the fourth survey ...

    • Red cell distribution width is associated with future risk of incident stroke. The Tromsø study 

      Lappegård, Jostein; Ellingsen, Trygve; Skjelbakken, Tove; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Njølstad, Inger; Wilsgaard, Tom; Brox, Jan; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-20)
      Red cell distribution width (RDW), a measure of the variability in size of the circulating erythrocytes, is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We aimed to investigate whether RDW was associated with incident stroke and case fatality in subjects recruited from the general population. Baseline characteristics were obtained from 25,992 subjects participating in the fourth ...

    • Red cell distribution width is associated with incident venous thromboembolism (VTE) and case-fatality after VTE in a general population 

      Ellingsen, Trygve; Lappegård, Jostein; Skjelbakken, Tove; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
